") The Toynbee tiles (also called Toynbee plaques) are messages of unknown origin found embedded in asphalt of streets in about two dozen major cities in the United States and four South American capitals.[1][2] Since the 1980s, several hundred tiles have been discovered.

In 1941, Forrest Mars Sr., of the Mars candy company, struck a deal with Bruce Murrie, son of famed Hershey president William Murrie, to develop a hard shelled candy with chocolate at the center.

Mars needed Hershey’s chocolate because he anticipated there would be a chocolate shortage in the pending war, which turned out to be correct. As such, the deal gave Murrie a 20% stake in the newly developed M&M; this stake was later bought out by Mars when chocolate rationing ended at the end of the war, in 1948. The name thus stood for “Mars & Murrie” the co-creators of the candy.

To objectively ascertain the following, one may need to re-examine preconceived ideologies relating to the dualistic nature of mankind. Resolving the philosophical question of whether we are inherently good or inherently evil is tantamount in shaping our perception of reality; specifically, the spiritual variable within the equation of life.

Sunday Gazette-MailCharleston, WVDec 22, 1968 Fayetteville– Their search has dragged on for 23 years, but George & Jeannie Sodder will never believe five of their children burned to death in that Christmas morning fire of 1945. A weather-scarred billboard on a lonely WV road offers $10,000 for information leading to the five, regarded as lost in the fire that leveled the Sodder home in minutes.

The undying hope that the two boys and three girls still are alive has taken the Sodders to a Mexican border town and a Spanish hamlet in Florida. But always frustration: nothing. For nearly two decades, this billboard stood at the site of the Sodder house fire. It showed photos of the missing Sodder children and offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to their recovery. Still, after all these years, the Sodders receive letters, photographs and telephone calls from persons across the country, from those who say they saw the children.

After eight or nine years, he tried to write something else, "Obey God" and then five years later, "God or Sin" but he could not bring himself to stop writing "Eternity".

SAN FRANCISCO, March 14— Two fugitive members of a radical West Coast group who were seized in the investigation into the Brink's robbery and killings in the New York City suburbs have pleaded guilty in the death of one of the group's members.

The authorities say they believe the jailing of the two will end the activities of the Wellsprings Commune, whose members were involved in a variety of criminal acts including murder, bank robbery and jail breaking. The fugitives, Betty Ann Abramson, 29 years old, and Wendy Sue Heaton, 26, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter charges in the shooting death of 28-year-old Roseann Goustin and were sentenced to three years in prison. Miss Goustin was killed in 1980 near the commune's isolated retreat in northern California's rural Humboldt County. The fugitives were originally charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances: lying in wait. Property that Mr. Satcher had purchased in Humboldt County became a retreat for the group.

Medieval lingerie. An archaeological find in Austria has raised questions concerning our ancestors’ dressing habits. Beatrix Nutz examines underwear, hygiene and social acceptance in the 15th and 16th centuries Men wore shirts and braies (medieval underpants resembling modern-day shorts), and women a smock or chemise and no pants. That’s all we have known about medieval underwear, but now, because of archaeological finds in East Tyrol, Austria, we have a better idea of what some women wore underneath their dresses. Lengberg Castle, first documented in 1190, was rebuilt into a representative palais in the 15th century by adding a second floor.

During extensive reconstruction in July 2008, a vault filled with waste was found beneath the floorboards of a room on the second storey of the castle, where it was dumped during the 15th-century reconstruction. There are some written medieval sources on possible female breast support, but they are rather vague on the topic. What about women in England?

"Secure Contain and Protect" (Pretend Mysteries) Pronunciation YouTube channel turns into a spooky mystery | Crave. (Screenshot by Michelle Starr/CNET Australia) YouTube user Pronunciation Book has stopped uploading his pronunciation guides, replacing them with a mysterious and creepy countdown. Pronunciation Book has never been an enormous YouTube hit. His pronunciation guides, dating back more than three years to April 2010, demonstrate how to pronounce common and uncommon words in American English, and rarely net more that a few thousand views, unlike Pronunciation Manual, which appears to be a parody. It looks, however, as though the channel has been up to something for a very long time. So far, it's up to Day 62 at the time of writing, and each video includes a creepy phrase, repeating "something is going to happen", followed by several seconds of strange clicking noises.

The clicking sounds at the end of each video have been the subject of much speculation, with many users positing that they are Morse Code. (Credit: Google Doc) At this time, the countdown is due to expire on 24 September.
